Bird & Bird advised Entegra Procurement Services ®, a subsidiary of Sodexo and a global player in performance and purchasing optimization for hospitality professionals (hotels, restaurants, healthcare, social care, education, communities, etc.) on the acquisition of Agap’pro, a recognized reference center on the French market.
Founded over 25 years ago, Agap’pro, a centralized reference service for food and non-food products serving the community, specializes in budget optimization for public and private catering structures. Supporting over 2,000 member accounts year-round and listing nearly 150 national and local suppliers and manufacturers, the company stands out for its complementary service offering: globalized invoicing, nutritional support provided by qualified dietitians, technical support provided by former chefs, and the use of Mercudyn, a management and ordering assistance tool.
With this acquisition, Entegra, which is already present in 12 countries, continues its development in France and strengthens its position as a leading player in purchasing performance for all hospitality venues, particularly those serving communities and medical-social establishments, particularly in the southwest of France.
Entegra was advised by Bird & Bird with a team composed of Carole Bodin , partner, and Jasmine Javault , associate, on M&A aspects, and Alexandre Vuchot , partner, and Sacha Bettach on Commercial aspects.
